I admit that I use AFK cloaking...and lately...AFK noobing... to wage psychological warfare on systems of carebears.
I pray on people's fear of the unknown. I make them afraid of the boogeyman. They become their own worst enemy.
I do this while I am at work, more than 40 miles away from my home computer. I log several accounts on position them in the systems of my interest, and go to work. I don't see them again for 10 hours..or more.
I would like some actual feedback on the following:
-Am I within the bounds of "emergent gameplay"? -Are my despicable activities allowed under the Eve Online Tos or EULA in peoples opinions? -Does psychological warfare of this type construe harassment in the eyes of the Eve populace? -If someone is unwilling to undock because of my actions, am I holding them against their will? -If I am affecting the virtual income of others, and ISK can buy PLEX which has real world value, Am I violating any monetary laws in peoples opinion? -I endure lots of harassment in local via questions about my parentage,my intelligence, my mothers bedroom activities, the size of my manhood, even my own sexual preference... am I also considered a victim? -Am I morally justified to use a style of gameplay that I find unacceptable, AFK gameplay, to combat that same style of gameplay?
I don't expect any official Dev or GM responses. I will put in separate support tickets to get official answers if and when I seek them. What I am after is the opinions of the population who play the game on the above issues. All I ask is that people be civil and respectful towards each other in this thread. Thank you in advance for your responses.

They should be balanced in such a way that your cloak will eventually cap you out unless you are in something small, specialized (covops for example) or gimp your setup. Basically, there should be some kind of balance.
The balance is, a cloaked ship cannot harm you in any way.

I wouldn't actually mind if we would have a system that mimics DUST version of the cloak:
- if you don't move the ship you're invisible as always - if you warp you blip like a Christmas tree in the combat scanners until you land and stop warping, how ever the scanner cannot get a 100% reading from you. - As you move around the grid there is chance that you might be found ie. you sig grows large enough that you cannot be probed to 100% but your presence can be known which that means your safe might be blown if you park near a celestial or structure.
This would make AFK cloaking to a sort of submarine warfare with hunters and the hunted.
Though other option might be the removal of cov ops cloaks and adding delayed local to all of null sec.

Cloaks have been there long time, and still people play eve. Cloaks can not be game breaking feature that needs fixing anyhow. |

However, it is entirely possible for an AFK cloaker to kill themselves by accident

AFK cloaking is fun.
You either ***** dock or you fly around not-being-a-loot-pinata. If you dock, you lose, if you get killed by a cloaky, thank him for the shot of adrenaline.
It's a win-win. |

Are you morally justified in pretending that you are terrifying? Sure, just as you are allowed to pretend you are flying a real spaceship.
Are you justified in posting disingenuous pouts in order to rules-lawyer? That's less clear.
